You're Not A Daddy.

I thought daddy's cared. I thought daddy's were supposed to always be there.

Catch you when you fall. Be there when you called.

See though every frown. Know when you're feeling down.

I thought you could lean on daddy's shoulder, ball up like a bolder.

Cry in his arms. Show us there's no harm.

Aren't you supposed to protect me? Show me I'm not alone? 

Make sure I've somewhere to go? Give me a home?

Not leave me in the dust. 
What about our relationship dad? 

What about all the fun times we had? 

Are you done? Ready to run?

Look what you've done! Look who you've become! 

You broke this family, you let us fall to pieces. 
You let everything slide right by you, even when I tried to confide in you!
You never cared, the way you act is unfair. 

You can't get away with it much longer, I'm not with you anymore dad. 
How does it feel? Does it hurt? Think maybe you can finally be real? 
No, you can't. You never have & never will. 
I believed in you, I took up for you. & what'd you do? 
You screwed it all over & proved there's nothing noone can do. It's always just been you.

It's is sad you feel this way. I can only speak from my perspective and it would break my heart to know my daughter felt this was. I would do everything I could for her, include laying my life down so that she could continue hers. I am not sure what would prompt such a write, but I am sorry things have come to this for you and him.

Let it roll on out. As tough and painful as it is, it's best not to let it get pent up. Keep yourself strong as the future makes it's slow turns closer on the clock of life. And remember that even if things are bad now, things can get better. Focus on you and your footsteps. :)

Your friend,

This is like a wrecking ball to the gut.
You write with a fierce...iron fist.
Emotionally compelling work.
It took a lot of courage.
